However the [[Commander In Chief]] United States Military felt that eliminating Cobra was more important than the safety of the troops and the nuclear missiles were launched anyway, placing Hawk and his G.I.

Apparently the government forgave Hawk for leading the G.I. Joe team on the unauthorized mission to Cobra Island, as weeks later, Optimus thanked Hawk for G.I Joe's aid in construction of a new [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].
